sion adjournment was taken to 8
oclock in the evening
Reassembling at that time the ses
sion was continuous for ten hours

Everybody was too tired to engage
in much enthusiasm and a motion to
adjourn to 5 p m was greeted with a
howl of affirmation as the 11000 spec
tators and L000 delegates made a
break for the exits
All night long these thousands had
sat patiently and watched the waging
of a most extraordinary battle
The climax of the night of sensa
tionalism came at 4 oclock in the
morning when after eight hours of
noisy clamor William Jennings Bry
an in the midst of absolute silence
began a speech in which he seconded
the nomination of Cockrell of Mis
souri
It was the event for which the con
vention had been waiting He was
fighting to prevent the nomination of
Parker But he was leading a forlorn
hope In a fiery speech he seconded
the nomination of every candidate ex
cept Parker
Senator Daniel concluded his read
ing of the compromise platform at 855
Friday night and immediately moved
its adoption his Avas carried by an
ovenvhelming Aote as a part of the
prearranged program The utmost con
fusion reigned during the reading
Daniels Aoice being Avholly inaudible
in the great hall
Immediately after the adoption of
the platform Chairman Williams as
cended the steps and shouted above
the din Avhich greeted him The
clerk will iioav call the roll of states
for the nomination of a candidate for
president
For a few moments the convention
was in an uproar the galleries join
ing Then the secretary succeeded in
making himself heard as he called the
name of the first state in alphabetical
order Alabama
Alabama yields to the Empire State
of New York screamed Delegate
Russell jumping upon his chair and a
roar of cheers went up as Martin W
Littleton of New York mounted the
platform
With the first words spoken in Lit
tletons strong rich voice silence fell
upon the vast assemblage and he was
given the closest attention as he made
the speech nominating the man whom
destiny had already picked as the
choice of the party
Only now and then were there brirf
outbursts of applause and cheers
when the speaker delivered a telling
sentence These demonstrations swell
ed into a roar of approval when Little
ton said
If you ask me why Judge Parker
has been silent I answer because he
has not attempted to be the master of
his party but is content to be its ser
ant
As he concluded his speech the roar
became a hurricane thunderous tu
multuous passing beyond all control
States in the Parker column tore their
standards from the fastenings and be
gan a wild shrieking march around
the hall the Michigan delegation
mounting the platform and planting
its huge banner behind the chair
while thousands of A oices were joined
in a frenzy of sound

call one of the delegates started a
small riot by referring to his states
unpurchased and unpurchasable dele
gation A roar of protest followed
which continued until the speaker was
compelled to leaAe his place and find
a seat in the section assigned to Ala
bama
At 335 in the morning just as the
first gleam of daylight appeared Wil
liam J Bryan appeared upon the plat
form and Avas given a tumultuous ova
tion By consent the time limit upon
speechmaking was removed to permit
him to address the convention defin
ing his position
He spoke for fifty minutes swaying
the great assembly Avlth his passion
ate sentences concerning the history
of the party during the last eight
years His hearers Avere Avith him in
sympathy sAvept along by what Avas
perhaps the most remarkable address
ho has ever made
Nebraska he stated would not in
sist upon arts one nominee but would
loyally support any man of character
and good repute who might be chosen
by the party He concluded in a wild
Avhirl of applause by seconding the
nomination of Cockrell of Missouri
Mr Bryan Avas attentively listened
to but his Avords had not the effect of
changing opinion as the nomination of
Judge Parker on the first ballot fully
demonstrated

hall Avas quickly emptied of Its wear
ied delegates and spectators The ter
rific strain of the night Aas over and
there Avas a general movement in tho
direction of the hotels
It Avas 537 Avhen the afternoon ses
sion opened A motion Avas made and
adopted that speeches nominating can
didates for the Aice presidency be lim
ited to ten minutes that five minutes
be alloAved for seconding speeches and
that the number be limited to three
Roll call of states Avas then called
for the presentation or candidates for
vice president Alabama Avas called
several times Avilh no response but
finally Mr Russell of that state an
nounced that Alabama would give way
to Illinois
Samuel Olschuler of Illinois arose
and announced that Freeman Morris
Avould speak for that state
Mr Morris took the platform to
name James R Williams of Illinois
The roll call of states proceeded and
when Nebraska was reached the re
sponse was a statement that it AAaited
Avith interest the choice of Now York
New York requested to be passed
Avhen called on the roil
Maryland seconded the nomination
of Davis of West Virginia
At this point in the session there
was uproar OAer rumors of a telegram
that had been received from Judge
Parker nominee for the presidency
Avhich Senator Culbertson of Texas
and others thought ought to be con
sidered before tho convention went t
any further The former said For
reasons Avhich are obvious to all tho
delegates here it peems to me that
Ave ought not to proceed at this time
o nominate a candrtite for vice pres
ident
Adjournment was thereupon taken
The loaders disappeared -id the ses
sion closed with an atmjosnhere of
tense expectancy ar to what would oc
cur Avhen it rerononed at 30 p m
The convention did not go into ses
sion promptly at the time appomled
although the greater number of dele
gates and alternates were in their
seats keyed up to a high pitch of ex
citement over the possible events of
the night
During the course of the proceed
ings the foiloAving message from Judge
Parker Avas read
I regard the gold standard as firm
ly and irreA ocably established and
shall act accordingly if the action of
the conAention today shall be ratified
by the people As the platform is si
lent on the subject my views should
be made known to the convention and
if it is proved to be unsatisfactory to
the majority I request you to decline
the nomination for me at once so that
another may be nominated before ad
journment
A message Avas proposed to be sent
to Judge Parker as follows
TJhe platform adopted by this con
vention is silent on the question of
monetary standard because it is nojt
reagrded by us as a possible issue in
this campaign and only campaign is
sues Avere mentioned in the platform
Therefore there is nothing in tho
views expressed by you in the tele
gram just received Avhich would pre
clude a man entertaining them from
accepting a nomination on said plat
form Anplause
A great deal of discussion folIoAved
some favoring sending of the message
others not
Eryan said he was opposed to send
ing the telegram as framed If the
gold standard is a good thing then
why run away from it Why not put
it into your platform
His declaration that the sending of
the telegram to Judge Parker Avas a
declaration for the gold standard side
and his statement that if the democ
racy was to say so frankly was greet
ed with a shriek of applause from tho
galleries and one man with a strong
A oice yelled Thats right
Loud applause greeted Mr Bryans
remark that it Avas a manly thing in
Judge Parker to express his opinions
before the convention adjourned but
it would have been a manlier thing
had he spoken before the convention
met was again cheered
After some further debate a roll call
was ordered on the question of the
adoption of the reply to Judge
Parkers mespage As the roll call
proceeded it was evident that the
motion to send the message to Judge
Parker would be carried by an over
whelming The result was
announced to be 771 aes and 191
coes and the message was ordered
sent by the conA ention
The vote closed the incident It
had been proA ocative of some feeling
and much anxiety on the rart or the
party leaders but from the first of
the eA ening session it was eA ident
that they had the situation well ia
hand
The order of business now went
back to the point Avhere Governor
Vardaman sprung the Parker tele
gram rumor and a recess Avhen the
rol of states Avas about to be called
on the A ote for the nomination for
a candidate for vice president and
the chair directed that the roll should1
be called Announcement of the Aoto -revealed
that Henry G Davis of West
Virginia had received G52 votes beingg
150 less then the necessary two thirds
He then received the nomination by
acclamation
